Iln Einger.Ring.

or all the ornaments with which
vanity, superstition and affection have
decorated the human form, few have
more curious bits of history than the
inger-ring. From the earliest times
the ring has been favorite ornament,
and the reasons for this general pref
erence shown for it over other articles Of
jewelry are numerous and cogent. Or
naments whose place is on some portion
of the apparel, or in the hair, must be
laid aside with the clothing or head
dress, are thus easily lost, and often not
at once missed. Pins, brooches, buck
les, clasps, buttons, all sooner or later
become defective In some part, and are
liable to escape from an owner The
links of a necklace in time become worn,
and tho article is taken off to DO mend J.
ed; the spring or other fastening of a
bracelet is easily broken and the brace
let vanishes. With regard to ornaments
fastened to parts of the savage body,
mutilation is necessary, the ear must be
bored, the nose be pierced, the cheeks
or lips be slit, and, even after the sur
gical operations are completed, the arti-
clcs used for adornment are generally
inconvenient, and sometimes by their
weight or construction, arc extremely
painful.
In striking contrast with decorations
worn on the clothing, in the hair, round
the neck and arms, or pendant from
the ears, lips and nose is the fnger-ring,
the model of convenience. 1t is seldom
lost, for it need not be taken off; re-
quires no preparatory mutiIation of tho
body, is not painful, is always in view,
perpetual reminder, either of the givor
or of the purpose for which it is given.
The popularity of the ring must,
therefore, be in large measure due to its
convenience, and that this good quality
was early learned may be inferred from
the Hebrew tradition, which attributes
the invention If thi, ornament to Tubal-
Cain, the Instructor of every artificer
in brass and iron. Popular Science

The Gold Yield OF the World.

The total yield of the gold mines of
Australasia, for the year 1885, is esti-
mated at 1865, 0s1 ounces, valued at
$25, 1888, 1884, against / ,443, 800 ounces,
valned at $27, 3G1 500, for the year 1885.
The total yield in Australasia, since the
opening of the mines in 1851 to the
present time, is estimated at so, 808, 9S1
valued at S1,5s2. 800, 600. This is an
enormous yield, but it is not as large as
that of the United States by STAG, 900, e
900. The truth is, the United States
produce one-third of all the gold in the
world, and more than one-half of the
silver.
During the last four years the value OF
the worlds annual product of gold has
been abouG 500, 000, 900; the United
States taking the first rank, Australasia

Man Can Live ON Milk Alone.

A st. Louis doctor asserts in the Globe
Democrat that a strong and healthy man
can live on milk alone. 81 see man on
the street every day" he says, "who is in
appearan and in fact healthier than the
average man, and he lives or milk alone.
l say he is healthy, and so he will con-
tinue to be so long as he sticks to milk,
for soldier food would disagree with
him. One thing about milk that is not
generally known is that it is the only
beverage that will satisfy the craving for
alcohol in person who has drank good
deal in his time, and is on swear-off.
If person who finds that aching void
which his instinct tells him means that
he wants drink Of whisky, will only
step into barroom or restaurant, or up
to one of those little dairy stalls that are
becoming so opular on the streets, and
take foamy goblet of good milk, be
will find his thirst quenched and the
craving allayed. He need not be afraid
of drinking too much milk 1t will do
him no HARM and he is not liable to want
as many milks as he was wont to take
beers or WHISTLES. Milk aud self er
make a palatabe drink that is cooling
and soothing to the liver.

The Rise Of the Gypsy.

Edgar L. Wakeman, whose life among,
and close study of, the Romany entities
him to be ranked as highest authority
upon gypsies, furnishes from time to
time, many interes ting facts in regard to
their progress in his country. He states
that in Chicago there is clergyman who
was born a gypsy. A member of the
Pennsylvania Legislature has the same
origin. In Canada there are fifty emf
nent professional people who are of the
Bohemian race. A prominent civil en-
Mr.. Wakeman says that in New ork
City are half hundred gypsics, several
of whom are worth upward of 100000
apiece. A Boston lawyer in good prac-
tlce is a gypsy. A San Francisco cafe is
owned and conducted by gypsy, who
is very rich. In indianapolis is physi-
clan in large practice, who passes as an
Englishman. He was born in Yetholm
gypsy camp. One of the wealthiest resi-.
dents of Washington is gypsy. Certain
business menin Richmond and Baltimore
have the same origin. Henry Stanley, of
st. Paul, owns property worth over
$40, 900. The Cooper family, of East
Somerville, Boston, are worth $3.50, 900.
Uriah Wharton owns $780, 900 worth of
real estate in New Yo:k. In Canada the
amount of property held by gypsies is
very large. Half million dollars worth
of property in and near Dayton, Ohio,
is owned by gypsies. In Milwaukee,
Elias Brewe: owns $4,000 worth of
property. "In short" says Mr.. Wake.

ON HEIGHTS.

Who dwells upon the heights exists alone
Unbound Of Love that seeks genial air,
Not such as permeates cold spaces where
The snow possesses mountains for a throne
And glaciers bind them with frozen zone.
Love Joys to see each cascades silvery hair
Wave flowing tressej Ger a rocky stair,
Not changed by gorgon-winds TO rigid stone
Be not on some lone pinnacle your goal;
For though the icy silence is sublime,
Coeval with the ancient gray haired Time,
ltchills the warmer feelings Of the soul
And eyes, that only DER such prospects roll,
See not the graces of softer cline.
